She understands there might be people who object to the sex in Fifty Shades of Grey or the sorcery in the Harry Potter series, but she’s not one of them.

“We do not police or ban our materials for public use,” Smith said.

“If they are deemed questionable in the parent’s mind then it`s up to the parent to not allow that child to check out the material.”

It would seem that the tawdry Fifty Shades would lead the list of most challenged books this year, but that title belongs to The Adventures of Captain Underpants.

It’s toilet humor – two mischievous kids who turn their cantankerous principal into a superhero flying around with a cape and his white underpants.

“Captain Underpants surprised me that it was banned,” said Cheryl Mesler, co-owner of Burke’s Book Store. “I don’t know that there was anything really objectionable in Captain Underpants. It’s a big seller for us.”

To celebrate Banned Books week, Burke’s Books is offering free kits that include a bookmark, a pin and a small book of matches covered in a tiny book jacket of Fahrenheit 451.
